Congratulations..... I didn't see anything about a tune...hahaha... Just a tune alone is well worth it, much better throttle response and then some. Otherwise the car still acts the same. Good luck and enjoy.

No, from what I understand he just acquired the vehicle and is looking to upgrade it. He is also looking to sell the old parts off his car .

Race Horse,

What benefits does the tune provide? How much does it cost?

More hp, power more torque, more throttle response. More or less you will add another 50-75hp and even more if you opt for additional mods. Its supposed to give you better gas mileage but nobody thinks of that when you have the option between going fast or being conservative. Also factory limited top speed is removed if you are willing to hold your foot down past 155mph. Do a search there is plenty of info that can help you make a decison as to what company to choose. I've spent zero on dressing my car up and only on making it quicker. Good luck and enjoy the new car.

Like racehorse mentioned looks are perfect the way they are. Think about a tune and be good. Maybe new wheels if it were mine.

1995E320CAB,

Thank you very much for the information!

The only person I trust is Tony. He is the Owner at Chariots of Fire, LLC (COFcustoms.com) located in Kearny Mesa, CA. He has done all of the work on my previous cars. He is reasonable, honest, and dependable. Highly recommended.

+1 on the tune. I would start with ECT/TCU update, HE and the pump. The difference is amazing. Once you get the drift, 800HP kit will be next on your list

Can I buy it from them and have it installed by the shop I use?

Will it have any implications on my extended warranty?

Taillights

Jeff,

Thank you.

I also have a 2007 S65 AMG. I see you upgraded to the new taillights LED's.

Were you able to sell the old taillights?

Where did you buy them?

How much did the cost?

Any issues with the fitment?

No one will buy the old taillights because the older models already comes with them. Unless you sell them to someone with a broken one that just wants the stoic replacement.

I bought the updated taillights off ebay. I think they were about $500? No fitment issues and is easily installed.

HEADLIGHTS AND TAILLIGHTS

I am going to upgrade to the new headlights, taillights, side mirrors, and front bumper. Is there a certain person on Ebay to search for?

What year lights do I need to buy?

I am pretty sure the front bumper and side mirrors are 2010.

What are your thoughts?

The front facelift. For the LED headlight and the LED strip below the bumper to work, you will spend upwards of $8500 to do it right.
